2.2 Is my release a single, an EP, or an album?
Stores differentiate between “single,” “EP,” and “album” based on the number of tracks. Unfortunately, there is no uniform regulation across all stores. However, for releases distributed through iGroove, the following guidelines apply:
• 1-2 songs = single
• 3-7 songs = EP
• 8+ songs = album
Note that an album can include a maximum of 100 songs.
